IBM Video Streaming provides an example PHP library for some basic API calls. Here you can find what’s needed to run the example calls and also download the library.

You need PHP, and Composer to install the dependencies. The dependencies are defined in the composer.json file.

php ustream_api.php

You also need to specify the name of the video file you want to upload. The video must be in the same folder as the script.
